Going to Poypet

So are team will be taking a bus up to poypet on Friday morning. I can't believe its already the half way point of our outreach. While in singreap we had the chance to go to ankor watt. I have now seen on of the seven great wonders of the world. We were only up there for two days and then we went back to the church and orphanage. It was really nice because it was the first chance we actually got to stay there and spend more time with the staff and kids. Though as a result when we had to leave on Monday, it was really hard and I miss all the kids. They were so beautiful. Its weird how you can build such a strong bond with people even with the language barrior. i have to admit i cried when i left. though i know God is now calling us up to poypet, and that we will grow to love it there as well. Thats about all for now. God bless you all

Villages of Camboda

the last two days our team spent out in the country. it was the most beautiful place i have been yet. it took us a three hour bumpy ride to get there but it was worth it. we were in a little area between homes in the middle of a bunch of rice fields. it was so green and a bit of mountain in the back ground. they also gave us cocanuts to drink out of both days. then me and chelsey asked them to open them up for us. the people were so greatful that we traveled all the way out there to give them free meds as well there was a singapore team with us that brought some delicing stuff to work on their hair. we were able to sing songs and the singaore team did a puppet show that showed the lost sheep story. one of the cambodian pasters that was translating got really into it, and the kids loved it. We are now back in the city until the friday. we actually have today and tomorrow to relax which is nice because we haven't had a full day off since we got going. i will get a chance to go to the market again tomorrow. anyways that is all for now. God bless

Beautiful Cambodia

I love it here so much. The country is so green. The food is so good, the fruit is amazing, the people are so beautiful. It is so unique. The people we are working with treat us so good. I feel so blessed. I even got to use some of my French the other day because the older generation knows French. Anyways, I am learning the language slowly. I now know how to count to ten in khmye and got someone to tell me how to sing "Jesus loves me", so I could write it down. Don't really have much else to say. Thank you for your prayers

First days in Cambodia

I can't believe that i am in Cambodia. So i have been here for two full days now. they have been a busy two days. We arrived friday afternoon and pretty much just ate supper adn went to bed. Saturday was a full day. We went to a museum about the khymer rouge in the morning. IT was really sadto see all the blood shed this country has gone through in the past. For lunch we had a chance to go to the market. It was really cool. I don't really know what i ate. something with veggies and noodles. All i did was point at one thing and she heaped tones of other stuff on there. But what ever it was, it was really good. After we ate, we got to walk around. I got a bag, which i greatly needed. In the afternoon we went to the "killing fields" where they buried tones of dead bodies during the war. There again it was sadto see the hugeness of what had happend. they sayit was worse than what hitler did in world war 2.
We also gota chance to ride on a moto. it was so cool and so much fun. thedrivign is so crazy here. but they all know what there doing so it works.
Today we went to church. It was really cool. They had littleradios with head phones so that we could hear the translation. The worship was really cool too because it was songs we knew but they didn't sing them in english. i liked it. We went out for lunch to a place called "Tea and Coffee World". I would have to say that their coffee is the strongest stuff i have ever had. They say that if you have too much, its so strong that you'll feel like your on drugs.
We also got a chance to meet with the doctor we will be working with for the first month, today. We will be going out to work in villages with him, leaving tuesday. We will get a chance to work with the kids, do some skits, probably get to share our testimonies. We will be coming back into the city between trips,but most of our time will be away. I am so excited to get started. If you could pray that we will be able to pick up basics of the language quickly, as well for chelsey. She got motion sickness on the plane that carried into yesterday afternoon. She is fine right now, but as we will be going on the road a bit it would be nice to have that prayer protection, for her as will as for the rest of the team. Thankyou so much.

Singapore

So I am in the Singapore airport right now. We have a three hour stop over and there is free internet here in the airport, so I thought I would come on for a short little bit. In just a few short hours I will be in Cambodia. Wow that's hard to believe. Anyways God is good. A year ago I would have never thought I would be going to Cambodia, but when he is in control of your life you get to go do way cooler things then you would without him. Well... That's all for now. Later
Blessings
